2422. Wireless Network ConfigurationFor a wireless connection, the SSID, (also known as the wireless network name), and the wireless security settings must be the same for the router and wireless computers or wireless adapters. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security. The router is pre-configured with WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mixed mode and uses a unique SSID and passphrase. This information is printed on the label on the bottom of the router. Use this information to setup your WiFi computer and devices.This chapter addresses the following:•Planning Your Wireless Network•Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings•Use Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless NetworkNote: Computers can connect wirelessly at a range of several hundred feet. If you do not use wireless security, this can allow others outside your immediate area to access your network.
Wireless Network Configuration25 Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210CPlanning Your Wireless NetworkFor compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating channel and region must be set correctly. To configure the wireless network, you can either specify the wireless settings, or you can use WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) to automatically set the SSID and implement WPA/WPA2 security.•To manually configure the wireless settings, you must know the following:-SSID. The default SSID for the router is NETGEAR-3G. -The wireless mode (802.11n, 802.11g, or 802.11b) that each wireless adapter supports.-Wireless security option. To successfully implement wireless security, check each wireless adapter to determine which wireless security option it supports. See Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings on page 27.•Push 'N' Connect (WPS) implements WPA/WPA2 wireless security on the router and your wireless computer or device at the same time. The wireless computer or device must be compatible with WPS.See Use Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network on page 31.Wireless Placement and Range GuidelinesThe range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of the router. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices.For best results, place your router according to the following guidelines:•Near the center of the area in which your computers will operate.•In an elevated location, such as a high shelf, where the wirelessly connected computers have line-of-sight access (even if through walls).•Away from sources of interference, such as microwave ovens, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones.•Away from large metal surfaces.•Put the antenna in a vertical position to provide the best side-to-side coverage. Put the antenna in a horizontal position to provide the best up-and-down coverage. •If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.
Wireless Network Configuration26Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210C Wireless Security OptionsIndoors, computers can connect over 802.11n wireless networks at a maximum range of up to 300 feet. Such distances can allow others outside your immediate area to access your network.Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls and can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. The Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router provides highly effective security features, which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.Each router is preconfigured for WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mixed-mode, and comes with a unique SSID and passphrase for each router.There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:Wireless DataSecurity OptionsRange: up to 300 feet radius1) Open system: easy but no security2) MAC access list: no data security3) WEP: security but some performance impact4) WPA-PSK: strong security5) WPA2-PSK: very strong securityMVBR1210CFigure 3. Wireless Security•Restrict access based on MAC address. You can allow only trusted PCs to connect so that unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the router. Restricting access by MAC address adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed. •Turn off the broadcast of the wireless network name (SSID). If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies wireless network “discovery” feature of some products, such as Windows XP, but the data is still exposed.•WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption block all but the most determined eavesdropper. This data encryption mode has been superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.•WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (AES). WiFi Protected Access (WPA) using a pre-shared key to perform authentication and generate the initial data encryption keys. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA makes it virtually impossible to compromise.

Wireless Network Configuration31 Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210CUse Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless NetworkTo use Push 'N' Connect, your wireless computers or devices must support WiFi Protected Setup (WPS). Compatible equipment usually has the WPS symbol on it. WPS can configure the network name (SSID) and set up WPA/WPA2 wireless security for the router and the wireless computer or device at the same time. WPS considerations:•NETGEAR’s Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the WPS standard. All other WiFi-certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR products that implement Push 'N' Connect.•If your wireless network will include a combination of WPS-capable devices and non-WPS-capable devices, NETGEAR suggests that you set up your wireless network and security settings manually first, and use WPS only for adding WPS-capable devices. WPS Button Any wireless computer or wireless adapter that will connect to the router wirelessly is a client. The client must support a WPS button, and must have a WPS configuration utility, such as the NETGEAR Smart Wizard or Atheros Jumpstart.¾To use the router WPS button to add a WPS client: 1. Log in to the router as described in Log In to Your Router on page 12.2. On the router main menu, select Add WPS Client, and then click Next.WPSbuttonBy default, the Push Button (recommended) radio button is selected.3. Either click the onscreen button or press the WPS button on the front of the router.The router tries to communicate with the client (the computer that wants to join the network) for 2 minutes.4. Go to the client wireless computer, and run a WPS configuration utility. Follow the utility’s instructions to click a WPS button.5. Go back to the router screen to check for a message.
Wireless Network Configuration32Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210C The router WPS screen displays a message confirming that the client was added to the wireless network. The router generates an SSID, and implements WPA/WPA2 wireless security. The router will keep these wireless settings unless you change them, or you clear the KeepExisting Wireless Settings check box in the Advanced Wireless Settings/WPS Settings screen.6. Note the new SSID and WPA/WPA2 password for the wireless network. You can view these settings in the Wireless Settings screen. See Manually Configure Your Wireless Settings on page 27.To access the Internet from any computer connected to your router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. You should see the router’s Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP.Note: If no WPS-capable client devices are located during the 2-minute time frame, the SSID does not change, and no security is set up.WPS PIN EntryAny wireless computer or device that will connect to the router wirelessly is a client. The client must support a WPS PIN, and must have a WPS configuration utility, such as the NETGEAR Smart Wizard or Atheros Jumpstart.The first time you add a WPS client, make sure that the Keep Existing Wireless Settingscheck box on the WPS Settings screen is cleared. This is the default setting for the router, and allows it to generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements WPS. After WPS is implemented, the router automatically selects this check box so that your SSID and wireless security settings stay the same if other WPS devices are added later.¾To use a PIN to add a WPS client: 1. Log in to the router as described in Log In to Your Router on page 12.2. On the router main menu, select Add WPS Client (computers that will connect wirelessly to the router are clients), and then click Next. The Add WPS Client screen displays.3.

This allows the router to automatically generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements WPS. After WPS is implemented, the router automatically selects the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box so that your SSID and wireless security settings remain the same if other WPS-enabled devices are added later.Turn Access Control On Access control is disabled by default so that any computer configured with the correct SSID can connect. See RestrictingAccess by MAC Address on page 85.
Advanced85 Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210CWireless Station Access ControlBy default, any wireless PC configured with the correct SSID and wireless security settings is allowed access to your wireless network. You can use wireless access point settings in the Wireless Setting screen to further restrict wireless access to your network:•Turn off wireless connectivity completely.You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the router. For example, if you use your notebook computer to wirelessly connect to your router, and you take a business trip, you can turn off the wireless portion of the router while you are traveling. Other members of your household who use computers connected to the router via Ethernet cables can still use the router. To do this, clear the Enable Wireless Router Radio checkbox on the Wireless Settings screen, and then click Apply.•Hide your wireless network name (SSID).By default, the router is set to broadcast its wireless network name (SSID). You can restrict wireless access to your network by not broadcasting the wireless network name (SSID). To do this, clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check box on the Wireless Settings screen, and then click Apply. Wireless devices will not “see” your router. You must configure your wireless devices to match the wireless network name (SSID) of the router.Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in the router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the router.Restricting Access by MAC AddressFor increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to allow only specific PCs based on their MAC addresses. You can restrict access to only trusted PCs so that unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router. MAC address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed. Note: If you configure the router from a wireless computer, add your computer’s MAC address to the access list. Otherwise you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the router from a wired computer, or from a wireless computer that is on the access control list, to make any further changes.

If this option is selected, you must enter the MAC addresses of the other access points in the fields provided.
Advanced88Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210C Port Forwarding and Port TriggeringPort forwarding and port triggering are advanced features that affect the behavior of the firewall in your router. In the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen, you can make local computers or servers available to the Internet for different services (for example, FTP or HTTP), to play Internet games (like Quake III), or to use Internet applications (like CU-SeeMe).•Port forwarding is designed for FTP, Web server, or other server-based services. Once port forwarding is set up, requests from the Internet are forwarded to the correct server. •Port triggering monitors outbound traffic. When the router detects traffic on the specified outbound port, it remembers the IP address of the computer that sent the data and triggers the incoming port. Incoming traffic on the triggered port is then forwarded to the triggering computer. Port triggering allows requests from the Internet only after a designated port is triggered. Port triggering applies to chat and Internet games.Port Forwarding¾To set up port forwarding:1. From the main menu, under Advanced, select Port Forwarding/Port Triggering. The following screen displays:By default, the Port Forwarding radio button is selected. 2.

The Open setting is less secure.Disable SIP ALG Some VoIP applications do not work well with SIP ALG. Selecting this check box might help your VoIP devices create or accept a call through the router.
Advanced91 Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210CSetting Up a Default DMZ ServerWARNING:For security reasons, you should avoid using the default DMZ server feature. When a computer is designated as the default DMZ server, it loses much of the protection of the firewall, and is exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the computer can be used to attack your network.The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but there are other applications that might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the default DMZ server.Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the router unless the traffic is a response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Ports screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.¾To assign a computer or server to be a default DMZ server: 1. Go to the WAN Setup screen as described in the previous section.2. Select the Default DMZ Server check box.3. Type the IP address for that server. 4. Click Apply to save your changes.
Advanced92Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210C LAN SetupThe LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and RIP.

Assign reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings. DHCP SettingsBy default, the router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. IP addresses is assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory.Use Router as DHCP ServerIf another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure the network settings of all of your computers, clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box on the LAN IP Setup screen. Otherwise, leave it selected. Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by filling in the Starting IP Address and Ending IP Address fields. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:•An IP address from the range you have defined.

Advanced99 Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210C3. Click Apply.Dynamic DNSIf your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you will not know in advance what your IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service to register your domain to their IP address, and forward traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address. The router contains a client that can connect to a Dynamic DNS service provider. To use this feature, you must select a service provider and obtain an account with them. After you have configured your account information in the router, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address changes, your router will automatically contact your Dynamic DNS service provider, log in to your account, and register your new IP address.WARNING:If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x, the Dynamic DNS service will not work because private addresses will not be routed on the Internet.¾To configure Dynamic DNS:1. From the main menu, select Dynamic DNSto display the Dynamic DNS screen:2. Access the website of one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose names appear in the Service Provider drop-down list, and register for an account. For example, for dyndns.org, go to www.dyndns.org.3. Select the Use a Dynamic DNS Servicecheck box. 4. Select the name of your Dynamic DNS service provider. 5. Fill in the Host Name,User Name, and Password fields.The Dynamic DNS service provider might call the host name a domain name. If your URL is myName.dyndns.org, then your host name is myName. The password can be a key for your Dynamic DNS account. If your Dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, you can select the Use wildcards check box to activate this feature. For example, the wildcard feature will cause *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org.
Advanced100Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210C 6. Click Apply to save your configuration. Using Static RoutesStatic routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.Static Route ExampleAs an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:•Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.•You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.•Your company’s network is 134.177.0.0.When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the router, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. In this example:•The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses. •The Gateway IP Address fields specify that all traffic for these addresses should be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. •In the Metric field, a value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN. This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. This is a direct connection, so it is set to 1.•Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
Advanced101 Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210C¾To configure static routes:1. From the main menu, under Advanced, select Static Routes to view the Static Routes screen.2. Select the radio button of the static route you want to configure. 3. Click Add or Edit to display the following screen:4. Fill in or change the fields:•Route Name. The route name is for identification purposes only. •Private. Select this check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static route will not be reported in RIP. •Active. Select this check box to make this route effective. •Destination IP Address, and IP Subnet Mask. If the destination is a single host, type a subnet value of 255.255.255.255.•Gateway IP Address. This must be a router on the same LAN segment as the router. •Metric. Type a number between 2 and 15. This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 2. 5. Click Apply to save your changes. If you added a static route, it is added to the Static Routes screen.
Advanced102Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210C Enabling Remote ManagementUsing the Remote Management screen, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to configure, upgrade, and check the status of your router.Tip: Be sure to change the router default password to a very secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper-case and lower-case), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.¾To configure Remote Management:1. Log in to the router. Type http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field of your Internet browser. Enter admin for the user name and your password (or the default, password).2. Under Advanced, select Remote Management:3. Select the Turn Remote Management Oncheck box.4. Specify which external addresses will be allowed to access the router’s remote management.For security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical:•To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone.•To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select IPAddress Range. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.•To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select Only This Computer.Enter the IP address that will be allowed access. 5. Specify the port number that will be used for accessing the router menu.Access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, you can enter a different port number. Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.6. Click Apply to have your changes take effect.When accessing your router from the Internet, type your router WAN IP address in your Internet browser address or location field, followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080, enter: http://134.177.0.123:8080. Be sure to include http:// in the address.

If this feature is disabled, the router will not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the router. •Advertisement Period. The advertisement period is how often the router advertises (broadcasts) its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations might compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic.•Advertisement Time To Live. The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops for each UPnP packet sent. A hop is the number of steps allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement before it disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, then it might be necessary to increase this value a little.•UPnP Portmap Table. The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is currently accessing the router and which ports (internal and external) that device has opened.3. To save or cancel your changes or refresh the table:•Click Apply to save the new settings to the router. •Click Cancel to disregard any unsaved changes. •Click Refresh to update the portmap table and to show the active ports that are currently opened by UPnP devices.

If you have an usage limit, your ISP might charge you for the overage. •Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses.
Troubleshooting111 Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210CA DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP provides the addresses of one or two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the router’s configuration, reboot your computer and verify the DNS address. Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system documentation.•Your computer might not have the router configured as its TCP/IP router.If your computer obtains its information from the router by DHCP, reboot the computer, and verify the router address.Troubleshooting a TCP/IP Network Using the Ping UtilityMost TCP/IP terminal devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. You can easily troubleshoot a TCP/IP network by using the ping utility in your computer.Testing the LAN Path to Your RouterYou can ping the router from your PC to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up correctly.¾To ping the router from a PC running Windows 95 or later:1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button, and select Run.2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the router, as in this example:ping 192.168.0.13.

If the LED is off, follow the instructions in Connecting to the Internet on page 109.-Check that the corresponding Link LEDs are on for your network interface card and for the hub ports (if any) that are connected to your workstation and router.•Wrong network configuration
Troubleshooting112Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210C -Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and configured on your PC or workstation.-Verify that the IP address for your router and your workstation are correct and that the addresses are on the same subnet.Testing the Path from Your Computer to a Remote DeviceAfter verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your PC to a remote device.¾To test the path:1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button, and select Run.2. In the Windows Run window, type:ping -n 10 IP addresswhere IP address is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed. If you do not receive replies:•Check that your PC has the IP address of your router listed as the default router. If the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information is not visible in your PC’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed as the default router.•Make sure that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address specified by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.•Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.•If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the account name in the Basic Settings screen.•Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your PCs. Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing only traffic from the MAC address of your broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single PC connected to that modem. If this is the case, you must configure your router to clone or spoof the MAC address from the authorized PC. See the Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210C Installation Guide.Problems with Date and TimeThe email screen displays the current date and time of day.
